The Active Gains in Brain Using Exercise During Aging (AGUEDA) trial examined the effects of a 24 week resistance exercise (RE) intervention on executive function (EF) and other cognitive domains in cognitively normal older adults.

Research summary

The paper claims that a 24-week resistance exercise intervention can improve executive function and other cognitive domains in cognitively normal older adults. This research is relevant as it explores the potential of exercise as a non-pharmacological intervention to enhance cognitive health in aging, addressing aspects of longevity and cognitive decline.
